Go to an AA counter or lounge and tell them to place you on AC 2101 or 2103.
If they say they can't, just ask for a supervisor.

Let us know how it goes.

They sure do. But you need to ask with confidence. Lounge agents are usually best if you can.

Make sure you tell them the flight numbers you want to be booked on like Meshugener gave to you before. Just insist nicely. Don't ask.

that's a silly question. You can't always use UR points to get from A to B or glitch tickets.

Buy a ticket!
Be nice. The guy's stuck!

A good AC airport agent can call AA to release the ticket.
Then again, you're in LGA...
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Either go to a lounge and ask them to conference with AC (I've done that before) our try by calling the AA 800 number and ask for a supervisor to do it.
It's definitely available, you just have to find a willing agent to do it for you.

BTW why won't reps do this, why does it take such persistence. Shouldn't they be trying to provide customer service... is there a reason they don't

Because it costs the airline money?
